Got brave and passed on the usual serrano peppers and picked up a couple of habaneros! Made an omelette today with just a third of the pepper. Not even any seeds. Cooked it up well to chill it down just a tad I hoped. And yah I used gloves to cut it up. That's such a painful lesson to learn. So my food had this great smooth heat to it. I was really surprised and pleased.
Have any of you seen these videos of strange noises coming from the sky? They are all over youtube and sound like weird metal banging or really creepy groaning like big a metal hinge slowed down really slow. I stumbled across them the other night waiting for tennis to start and got really creeped out. After some googling though, I think they are fake and part of maybe a viral sort of 2012 paranoia.
Speaking of tennis I couldn't be more pleased with how this Australian Open has gone. I was disappointed to see Maria Sharapova not only lose the final, but play well below her ability. I was very impressed with how she handled the loss in her runner up speech and in her press conference. She has so many devoted fans too. Can you imagine total strangers wishing you these deep sincere pleasant thoughts for your job? Fascinating. I really want her to win a Slam this year. WIth that said, I was very happy to see Azarenka win. Hopefully she won't lose first round in the French.
Perhaps my favorite match of the tournament was Murray vs Djokovic. A grinding 5 set blast fest with several 30 to 40 stroke rallies. It was just awesome to see Murray unleash himself and not beat himself. Plus seeing Ivan Lendl in his box is just too cool. He says to Andy, you will win, but first..you will feel pain, lots of pain! That is awesome! Anyway enough tennis talk.
So earlier this week I may have did too much weight on my dumbell presses. I mean my shoulder got tweeked at the beginning of the year bowling (guuuh) and suddenly I thought oh man, maybe I just tweaked both shoulders. Trying to imagine 2 impinged shoulders. ooof! Anyway, I took 3 days of from that and felt better yesterday, so I decided to do some really light weights and then a few pushups. An hour of so later I felt ok, but some part of me was worried I might wake up hurting. I also ran yesterday and felt kinda sluggy with a little soreness. Ughhh I'm such an endurance wimp!
I stayed up really late watching tennis and fell asleep on the couch. So when I got up on few hours of sleep, I thought..ughhh prolly not gunna run today. But as the morning progressed and I woke up, I found I was itching to run. So off I went since it was an awesome day to boot. Man! My run was insane! Was it the Greek Pisitichio I ate the night before? Sleeping on the couch? Who knows. I just felt like I could've ran all day. It was crazy delicious.
I ran down to Shalimar point and perused all the waterfront/golf course houses. Even if I had the money, I wonder if I'd really want to live in such houses. I ran by the clay courts we used to sneak onto when we were younger. It boggles my mind that we used to sneak on there and play for hours. I found some decent little hills on this run too. I kinda miss hills a little. At the end of my run I decided to push my pace. I pretended I was Ryan Hall with my hands flattened out and really pumping, my mouth making a small square as I tried to suck in as much air as I could. haha if you saw me, you'd prolly think, that guy looks weird and is kinda slow, but in my brain? I was Ryan Hall bitch! It was another good surprise. Where did all that energy come from? I'm going to say it was the greek food. Yahh thats it!
